English Soil,

The soil Of England does not seem to be

dure and the luxuriance of vegetation.
1t contains great museum of geological
specimens, and series of historical strata
which are among the most instructive of
human records. | do not pretend to.much
knowledge of geology. The most interest
ing geological subjects in our New Eng
land that / can think of are the great
boulders and the scratched and smoothed
surface Of the rocks; rfis, fossil footprints
i'll the valley OF the Connecticut; the
triloiiteS iound at Quincy. But the read
ers Of Hugh Miller remember what a va
riety Of fossils he found in the stratifed
rocks Of his little island, and the museums
are full of just such objects When 1t
comes to underground historical relics, the
poverty of New England rs COMPARED
with the wealth of Old England is very
striking. Stratum after stratum carries
the explorer through the relics of success

characteristic layers OF different races.

Writing Down California and Booming a

lcepyi9dt 1857. by the California issecated Press
NEW YORK. September 2Sth.-ISpecial. THE
Herald to-day returns to the discussion of the
California real estate advance, heading a long
correspondence: ''fhe Craze Subsiding-Specu.
iation Already Dresding the Day of settlement
Forty-fve Millions Due Before New Years
Threatened Fail of the Great Real Estate Boom
in California-Who VIII be the sufferers?'
These headlines cpitomize the correspond
ence, which is dated at Los Angeles. The cor
respondence is distinctly hostile in tone, but is
given much prominence, though devoted
largely to the views of the correspondent" The
ATgOnGW is quoted to sustain the correspond
ents argument for Eastern people, that the rise
in land is fictitious. Perhaps the explanation
of all this may be found in the notice which the
International Company gets for its lands about
Ensenada, which are presented in the following
language: IN Lower California and in the ho-
tells at Ensenada you may see lots of our old peo-
pie from Los Angeles, Riverside and San Ber-
nardlno, farmers from Santa Barbara county
and SAN Louis Obispo, md from all over the san
Joaquin valley-men that Will tell YOU that
high prices have driven them out. They
have sold out, or they couldn't afford to buy
and they are in Ensenada looking for cheaper
lands such as man can afford to own and get
profit from cultvating. There are good lands
down there. l doA't think the International
Company are selling very cheap, but their prices
are SO much lower than anything up here that

MoRE WINERIES WANTED-The Yolo
Democrat, in speaking of the vintage in tha.
section, saws: Grape growers are complain
ries are offering only $40 and s12 a ton,
while vineyardists insist that they can
make no money under SIS. The low price
of California wine appears to be the result
of combination of the San Francisco deal
ers. It is unfortunate that wine product
OF the State has to depend upon these deal
ers, both for its value ard for its reputation.
The State adopted pura-wine law, but the
first thing the San Francisco dealers did
was to advise a way to defeat its purpose.
1t is probably true thar there is not as much
profit in grapes at $l2 as growers have been
accustomed to make, but even at that low
price vineyard is good investment, and
is far better than wheat.
